Cyanotype

Year 2 - Elective 1
(3 weeks)
Cyanotype is a photographic emulsion that can be hand painted onto various supports. This project got under way with pinhole camera images. I took a photo of Harvey's caravan through a very basic pinhole camera which led to trying his used paper plates to great effect.
The project is a comment on wind farming and the loss of habitat to local flora and fauna. The final piece was a four place table setting encouraging people to have candlelight dinners as a way to save power.
